INTRODUCTION
The “Operator” is an interactive phone module for Caddx security
controls that interconnects your telephone with your security system. It
allows authorized users to operate the security system from any
TouchTone telephone, whether it is at the protected site or anywhere
else in the world. This manual is furnished to help you understand how
the “Operator” works in conjunction with your security system. You
should first make sure that you fully understand the operation of your
security system as described in the supplied manual before attempting
to use the “Operator”. The “Operator” is Y2K compliant.
ΝIMPORTANT NOTE: Throughout this manual, phrases and messages
will appear in BOLD ITALICS CAPITAL LETTERS. These phrases are
the actual words as stated by the “Operator”.
ACCESSING YOUR SYSTEM
From a protected site, you can access your security system
“Operator” from any of your TouchTone telephones.
Step 1 Pick up the receiver.
Step 2 Within 8 seconds of hearing a dial tone, press the star key
three times. The “Operator” will come on the line.
ρρρ
Step 3 The “Operator” will tell you the System Status including any
warnings, along with the various MENU choices.

From an off-site premise, you can also access the “Operator” using a
TouchTone telephone.
Step 1 Call the phone number of the protected site.
Step 2 When the phone is answered, press the pound key three
times within the first 8 seconds.
# # #
If a person or a device such as a fax/answering machine
answers the call, the “Operator” will come on the line when
the answering machine or person hangs up. Otherwise, the
“Operator” will automatically answer the call after a pre-
designated number of rings occur.
The “Operator” will prompt for a valid user code: “PLEASE
ENTER YOUR CODE”.
Step 3 Enter your code. When it recognizes the valid user code, the
“Operator” will tell you the System Status including any
warnings, along with the various MENU choices.
FUNCTIONS OF THE “OPERATOR”
The “OPERATOR” has a wide variety of functions available to use in
controlling your security system by means of a TouchTone telephone.
Section I. CHECKING SYSTEM STATUS
System status is the first information you will hear when the “Operator”
comes on the line. This will inform you of the present status of your
security system. The messages given for System Status are as follows:
# "SYSTEM IS ARMED, ENTER CODE TO DISARM" - Enter your
code to DISARM.
# "SYSTEM IS READY, ENTER CODE TO ARM" - Enter your code
to ARM your system.
# “SYSTEM IS ARMED IN STAY MODE” – Your system is armed
in the STAY mode and provides exit delays.
# "SYSTEM NOT READY, PLEASE SECURE" – One or more zones
are not secure. Check zone status.

# "TO ACCESS MENU, ENTER [ ρ ]" - This takes you to the MENU
for the other options.
# "ZONE BYPASS ACTIVE" - One or more zones are bypassed.
Check zone status.
# “SYSTEM TROUBLE, ENTER [ ρ ] [2]” – This will identify the
service condition. Consult your security system’s user manual for
more information or call your installer.
# "POWER FAILURE"- Your system has lost electrical power.
# "LOW BATTERY" - Your backup battery has failed a system
battery test.
# "PHONE LINE TROUBLE" - Your system has detected a problem
with the phone line.
# "SYSTEM IS ARMED IN THE STAY MODE. ENTER CODE TO
DISARM. EXIT DOOR DELAY IS OFF."- Your system is
armed in the INSTANT Mode. Refer to page 6for details.
# "WHEN FINISHED, HANG UP" - Disconnect from the
“Operator” by hanging up.

When the “Operator” is on the line, the System Status will be stated. To
access the MENU for the various features of your system, press ρ.
The messages listed below are presented. Press the appropriate
number for the desired MENU selection.
# "FOR ZONE STATUS, ENTER [0]" - For checking open/faulted
zones. Refer to page 8.
# "TO CHANGE AREA, ENTER [1]" - For changing the area.

Section III. ARMING YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM
When the “Operator” is on the line to a system that is in the DISARMED
state, the System Status will be stated as, "SYSTEM IS READY.
ENTER CODE TO ARM". If there are any bypassed zones, "ZONE
BYPASS ACTIVE" will be stated. Since your security system will ignore
bypassed zones, you may want to check Zone Bypass Status before
ARMING your system (see BYPASSING ZONES THROUGH THE
OPERATOR). If you choose to ARM your system at this point, enter an
authorized 4-digit user code and the “Operator” will say "SYSTEM IS
ARMED, ENTER CODE TO DISARM". Your security system is now in
the ARMED state. You may hang up or go to another MENU option.
Section IV. USING THE INSTANT / DELAY OPTION
(Refer to your security system user's manual to see if your system has
been programmed for the "INSTANT" option. Read and familiarize
yourself with this option.)
While your system is in the ARMED state you may activate the
"INSTANT" option through the “Operator” as follows:

Or to change the armed status to INSTANT, press ρ3
again.
Step 4 “SYSTEM IS ARMED IN STAY MODE. ENTER CODE
TO DISARM. EXIT DOOR DELAY IS OFF.” Your

READY, ENTER CODE TO ARM". Your security system is now
DISARMED. You may hang up or go to another MENU option.
Section VI. BYPASSING ZONES
Your security system must be DISARMED to perform the bypass
procedure. When you disarm your system, all bypassed zones will
automatically unbypass. Since your system’s arming procedure ignores

particular zone. After that zone number is stated, press
0.
Step 4 The “Operator” will say "PLEASE WAIT" before
repeating the status of that zone, and continue scrolling
through the remaining zones.

ACTIVATING EMERGENCY ALARMS
IMPORTANT NOTICE: In order to activate an EMERGENCY alarm through
the “Operator”, the telephone you are using MUST hold a continuous
audible tone while the button is held down. See page 15 of this booklet
or check with your installing company to see if these EMERGENCY
activations have been programmed into your security system. If so, the
following list will tell you how to activate an EMERGENCY alarm:
FIRE ALARM Press and hold [1] key for 2 full seconds.
AUXILIARY ALARM Press and hold [2] key for 2 full seconds.
PANIC ALARM Press and hold [3] key for 2 full seconds.
EMERGENCY alarms can be programmed to be silent or audible at the
protected site while possibly reporting an alarm to a monitoring center
that could dispatch the proper authorities.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE “OPERATOR”
1. TouchTone telephones are required to use the “Operator” with
your security system. Rotary dial telephones will not function with
the “Operator”.
2. For Emergency activation (Fire, Auxiliary, Panic) through the
“Operator”, you MUST be using a Touch-tone telephone that holds
a continuous tone as long as the key is depressed. Check your
phones to make sure they comply with this requirement.
3. If your phone is answered by an answering machine when you are
calling your system from an off-site location, there will be a short
pause waiting for the answering machine to disconnect so the
“Operator” can answer the call.
4. If your phone is answered by an answering/fax machine or any
other device that produces continuous tones for the first 8-10
seconds, the “Operator” will not be able to answer an incoming call
for the remote operation of your system.
5. Zone and light/appliance descriptions are generic, but can be
customized by your security installer to fit the needs of your
system.
